In the week of the International Mother Language Day there are usually extra postings related to language and education. Particularly because this year the theme is: “Towards Sustainable Futures through Multilingual Education”. It is also a good excuse to list a few (new) resources.

Creating Orthographies for Endangered Languages by Mari C. Jones & Damien Mooney (eds). This book is planned to be released this April. Multiple authors are sharing their experience in creating a writing system for an endangered language. Will be a good read!
